What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.

The future never comes. Life is always now.

The whole essence of Zen consists in walking along the razor's edge of Now - to be so utterly, so completely present that no problem, no suffering, nothing that is not who you are in your essence, can survive in you. In the Now, in the absence of time, all your problems dissolve. Suffering needs time; it cannot survive in the Now.

By far the greater part of violence that humans inflicted on each other is not the work of criminals or mentally deranged, but of normal, respectable citizens service of the collective ego. One can go so far as to say that on this planet "normal" equals insane. What is it that lies at the root of this insanity? Complete identification with thought and emotion, that is to say, ego.

Anybody who is one with what he or she does is building the new earth.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. When you speak out, you are in power.

Here is a new spiritual practice for you: don't take your thoughts too seriously.
